I have been reading the posts and responses regarding CentOS with interest. Thought provoking and informative information and thoughts. I am surprised that no one has mentioned Startcom Linux. This is purely curiosity on my part. |

"informative information..." sheesh! |

My understanding is that StartCom is based on a mix of Fedora and Red Hat and is not a RHEL clone. At least that is the way their website portrays the distro. Look, I'm Israeli-American and I would love to be able to tout some first class Israeli technology but... I was looking for something that truly is a drop-in, 100% compatible replacement for RHEL. StartCom doesn't fit the bill AFAIK. |

Thanks, Caitlyn. The Startcom home page definitely says it is based on Red Hat and Fedora code. Your reasoning makes perfect sense. |
